There is a movie slowly making its way down the West Coast. It has been held over for 16 weeks in Portland now, runs in Eugene already and is supposed to arrive in Berkeley this weekend.

What makes that "held over" so fascinating is, that this is not your typical movie, it is a film about Quantum Physics, part documentary, part story, and part elaborate and inspiring visual effects and animations. (Or so they say :-)

Here is a small synopsis: The protagonist, Amanda, played by Marlee Matlin, finds herself in a fantastic Alice in Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality.

At the Planetwork after party people were talking about it with greater anticipation than Fahrenheit 911.

That means, this weekend we could on Thursday get an update to Quantum Computing at Stanford, on Friday get Extreme Physics and some "inspiring visual effects and animations" via the Electric Sheep at the Future Salon and on Saturday the icing on the cake with "What the Bleep do we know" (A bit infantile title for a film if you ask me, or even if you don't ask me)

We could, but I am not sure if I want to jump through all these quantum hoops. Ask me again on Friday evening.
